Cybersecurity has became a Board level conversation: Airtel CISO at IMC 2020

Bharti Airtel’s senior VP and global chief information security (CISO) Manish Tiwari said that cyber security is at the top of mind for senior management across companies as work from home and digitisation becomes the new mode of working. Airtel has also seen the demand for inbuilt 24/7 monitoring systems and shift towards cloud based and pay as you use security models.

“Cybersecurity had in many ways become a board level conversation, but I think the manner in which it has propelled into a CEOs conversation with the Board is unprecedented in the last 12 months. There is a focussed attention on all aspects of risk management,” said Tiwari at the India Mobile Congress on Wednesday.
